Five On Friday

First of all, thank
you so much for the sweet emails and comments on my post about miscarriage yesterday.This is exactly why I love blogging… I just
started seven months ago and I’ve already made some amazing friends in this
community.I’m thankful for every single
one of you.

Now, down to
business.This is probably going to be
the most random Five On Friday yet… I’m all over the map today!

Jacob has taken
an interest in cooking.He’s always
loved to bake with me, but recently he has also started asking to watch me
prepare dinner.He loves to open and
close the spices and help me pour in the ingredients, and I love the extra time
I get to spend with him.I have a
love-hate relationship with cooking… I love providing for my family, but I hate
that it takes up time that I could be spending with them.Cooking with Jacob allows me to do both at
once.:o)

Brian snapped
this pic of us this past week while we were doing our thang.(Please excuse my messy pony, workout
clothes, and roots that are screaming for highlights… I’m getting my hair did
next week. #MomLife)

Well, Olivia has
officially jumped on board the Frozen train.Unbelievable given that she’s only 19
months old.

Jacob has loved
it for a good year or so now, and he used to request “The Frozen Song” over
and over and over in the car, but lately it has taken a back seat to “The Boys
Round Here” by Blake Shelton. I swear, I can't make this stuff up.

Anyhoo, just
when Brian and I thought that we were finally going to get a break from letting thestorms rage oooon, Olivia has now made it her priority to hear it every single time we get in the car.

From the moment the doors close, she starts.“Fro-sin?Fro-sin?”
And she says it repeatedly until we start the song. Once it plays in its entirety we hear, “Fro-sin?Fro-sin?”

We are
seriously never going to get away from it.

Luckily, we’ve
always played the Pentatonix version of it for them, so it’s a little more
tolerable.

Looks like
nothing else is ever going to top the list of most played songs in my iTunes library.

Speaking of
Frozen, Olivia has also taken a liking to Anna in addition to loving the
song.Therefore, we decided to let her
be Anna for Halloween.I usually love
for our Halloween costumes to have a theme, but this year, Jacob begged to be Spiderman, and since we
already did the superhero theme last year, we didn’t want to do it again.

I found this
Spiderman costume on Amazon for Jacob, and this Anna costume at Target for
Olivia.They’re both going to be
adorable, but my Type A sure is dying a little inside since their costumes are
not going to coordinate. Guess I just need to Let It Goooo!

I’m sure that I’ve
mentioned before that my daddy is an artist… he sure was blessed with a
gift.He is incredibly talented.

This past
weekend, he entered a couple of paintings at the Georgia National Fair, and he
won first place for one of them!I’m so
proud of him, and I'm glad that he got the recognition that he very much deserves.

Finally, in
last week’s Five On Fridaypost, I had several questions about my nail polish
color in my last picture so I thought I would share it with all of you. The brand is N.Y.C. and the shade is Park Ave. It is easily my all-time favorite fall nail polish color.The polish is not a high end brand, but with
two coats plus a gel setter topcoat, it holds up surprisingly better than some
of my Essie polishes.You can find it
here.

Wow, your dad's artwork is awesome!!! So cool! It is amazing how popular Frozen is with kids still...you'd think there would be a new thing by now! Such a cute picture if you two cooking together...cooking is definitely more fun with others!

Congrats to your dad, that is awesome! And so sweet that Jacob wants to cook with you! I need a new nail polish so I'll have to try this. I find that cheap nail polish often works better than Essie too!

Congrats to your Dad; that is so awesome and he should be really proud!! Also, love that Jacob likes cooking with you. I'm really hoping as Ben gets older he wants to help me out too. I think it'll be a fun and valuable thing to do together. Also, Ben has that Batman shirt (baby size) and it's my husband's favorite tshirt on Ben! Haha. Have a great weekend!

I always find that essie polishes just dont hold up well - but there is a color i have by the same brand that is amazing I need to check that one out! I love the outfits you picked for the kids!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
